I agree with the sentiment to help and not just throw stones, but I think all the outrage and whatnot is very useful: it makes this kind of stuff less likely to happen.
Rails needs to die. It is super nice to code in (for a certain class of problems, ie. CRUD apps) and the language is awesome but it is too big and insecure to use.
Anything you implement to replace the functionality missed by not using Rails will be, statistically, just as insecure. Arguably, even more-so because you will no doubt lack the peer review a large project like Rails benefits from.
